The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Has this SGA fic ("Freedom's Just Another Word for Nothing Left to Lose") been recced here yet?
One of the best fics I've ever read in any fandom, ever.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
No; but Synecdochic's a pal of mine from popslash fandom, and the two (three?) SGA stories she has out right now are superb. She's working on a big novel-length, punch-you-in-the-gut story right now that I can't wait to read.

Oh my.
I think that's the most powerful SGA fic I've ever read (no small feat when people like shalott and Speranza and Minnow and Consuela are contributing to the fandom).

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
It reminds me of the kind of story you get from Kat Allison!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
That was damn good.
I'd seen all the recs last night, and decided a single episode of SGA was enough for me to dive in and read it. I'm glad I did.

Matt, I can't say what an honor it is to have my name listed in that company.
You're dead wrong, you realize, but it's very kind of you to say so. t grins
And yeah, I shoulda recced "Freedom" here yesterday after I read it, I'm sorry I forgot. Fabulous story, although it's one of the most interesting ones, from a story-telling point of view. Because it's almost all telling, rather than showing. Lots of exposition, very little immediacy, and yet it all works so very well. Really impressive.

If I only had a brain...
So, is the First Rule of Slash Club "Don't talk about slash to the actors"?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Oh, dear God, yes, it is, but I think we've know that for years. At the very least, you wait for them to bring it up.

Also depends on the actor, doesn't it? I mean, everyone with a Mutant Enemy pedigree knows better than to be shocked, and Browder was joking about slashy subtext with Michael Shanks even before he started acting on Stargate.
